Anti-cheat software, even those that run in ring 0, can always be lied to by another program, even without a VM. Just look at how deep the Sony root kit [1] buried itself into systems and was still easily circumvented by other software. If anything gaming in VMs makes cheating harder and if NVidia, intel and Microsoft worked together they could help publishers ship secure VMs to run games reducing support tickets and cheats.
